Why can't I sell my Alfa? by
Mikey
I've been trying to sell my Alfa 156 Sportwagon for a few weeks now and am
really struggling. I've never struggled to sell cars in the past and I
wondered if anyone here has had problems trying to sell a second hand Alfa?
The car is a 156 Sportwagon 1.6 TS Lusso 2002 with a full service history...

GT[_1_]
Living in Kirkcaldy (KY2) and I need a 48k mile service for my 2002 156 2.0
JTS. It is now out of warranty, so don't need a genuine Alfa garage, but I
want a decent (reliable) garage to service it. There is an Arnold Clark

Alfa 75 Seats by
SteveH
The foam in my driver's seat is pretty much shot, although the fabric is
still almost perfect.
I'm sort of assuming that having new foam cut for it is a bit of a
specialist job, *if* I can find anyone who'll do it for me.
However, looking around ebay, there's loads of more recent cars...

While I've got my wallet open by
Steve[_10_]
Hi
I've recently had to come to terms with having to replace the exhaust on my
1998 156 v6 and I've opted to go with a Cybox stainless/s box.
While I've got my wallet open, does anyone have any other worthwhile (and
constructive) recommendations to improve the overall performance of the car....

ALFA 156 V6 by
xf8u
The engine has a flat spot at 5000rpm
Also, when I put my foot flat down the car accelerates well, but when I
lift off a bit it accelerates harder.
Any ideas?

2.0L Crank Plug Diagnosis / Replacement by
Mark Hickey
I've got an '85 Spider with all the classic symptoms of a missing
crank plug (oil pressure pretty much normal at start-up, then drops to
about 1/4 of what it should be after 10 minutes of driving).
A couple questions as I approach this...
1) Is it possible to diagnose and/or fix a missing crank...

davea
Hi All
The air bag warning light on my 147 came on the other day and hasn't
went off yet. I've heard this might be due to the wiring under the
passenger seat? I was hoovering it at the weekend so was moving the
seat back and forth which might have upset some wires.
Anyone got any advice on how to...

Alfa 156 TSpark Catalytic Converter by
SteveH
I suppose it had to happen at some point - given that the car has around
120k miles on it now - the 'brick' inside the catalyst has come loose
and is rattling around inside it's housing.
A bit of digging around on the 'net shows that they can be had for very
little money - around 80 quid,...
